"Wow it's cold and snowy, does Kapan get snow?" Rock-E heard Rocket ask.

"Rocket it's Japan but your misprounciounation is hilariots, and yes we get snow too in winter, geez you got your flu shot, that had to hurt." Rock-E said.

It was the beginning of Winter, plus Rocket was surprised that his 1610 self, Rock-E Nirohita Raccoon had shown up just to hang out with him, noticing his friend had brought Japanese teas with him, and for Hannukah had gotten Rocket a Tea Pigs subscription-box as he was curious about what you ate and drank in Japan, getting a crazy idea because Piper had told hI'm, that Rock-E refused to get his flu shot, which bothered him.

"It didn't hirt plus the needle's the size of a pencil, aren't you the Emperor of Peachiness?" Rocket said, making more tea getting an idea as Thor had introduced him to honey-tea so he could use that to trick his Japanese bro, into getting his flu shot seeijg Banner sneakily prick Rock-E's furry shoulder that was exposed hearijg him hiss, stunned that Rocket did that.

"Relax Nirohita, I had to protect you from endijg up in hospital, which would freak out Piper and your fans." he said.

Rock-E guessed this was true, he was lookijg forward to his first Christmas/holiday season with his 616-bro realising he was just lookijg out for him seeing and smelling tea which was relaxing him, takijg deep breaths humming Beatles which Rocket got, which Piper had explained seeijg him taking off his shades because the heat was makijg them steam up, impressing Rocket as he'd never seen his Japanese bro without them on, seeing he had brown eyes that looked tired, guessing he was needing this hangout time, where they would hang out and drink tea, which Lylla thought adorable.

"Awwww I guess you've been workimg yourself to the tailbone right?" Rocket said gently, seeing Rock-E nodding as the tea and scents of tea were relaxing him, he had been recording holiday music for the record company, doijg concerts which had been fun nut tiring so havijg a tea hangout in 616-Earth where there were no crazy fans mobbing him, or performing unaware Rocket had gotten him an new guitar for Christmas after Piper had told him. what had happened to his old guitar.

"Yeah our hangouts help us recharge our batteries." Rocket said pouring honey-tea into mugs, making Rock-E curious smelling it was different likijg it, hearing Rocket explain it was from Asgard impressing the Japanese male raccoon because he knew that Asgard was in Sweden on his Earth. impressing Rocket, seeijg Rock-E conk out catching him, as Thor walked in, askijg if his friend liked the tea.

"Yeah Thorey, he did, he just fell asleep thanks to it." Rocket told him.

"That's good Captain Rabbit, as honey-tea is popular in Asgard." Thor replied.

Rocket then wrapped a blanket around his Japanese brother, putting him on the couch, putting his shades on the table for when he awoke knowing he loved them, because John Lennon, his favourite singer from the Beatles seeing a drone from the Collector worrying Rocket as Shocket had revealed why Tivon had cloned her from him, he had to get Rock-E back before anything happened, Piper would be mad.

"Tell the others I'llbbe back in a while." he told Thor leaving.

After gettijg into his ship and blasting off, it was easy to follow the drone, sneakijg into Tivon's lair, hearing Tivon excited, getting to work, putting Rock-E in a cage,mafter getting what he wanted from him, angering Rocket who was wearing a black trenchcoat, shades with fingerless gloves on his paws with his blasted, takijg out drones, freeing his Japanese bro, angering Tivon that he was here.

"That's Rock-E my Japanese bro from another Earth, I'm the actual me, there is only me, doofus." Rocket said setting someof the collection loose hearing what sounded like an infant crying, realising what Tivon had done, remembering Shocket and never ng in his her until they'd found each other, takijg the kit with him and Rock-E ng in his ship.


When Rock-E woke up, he saw Piper holding an infant kit in her arms, stunning him until Rocket explained to him everything that had happenec including how he was a father now, making him impressed naming the male kit Ringo seeing Piper and Rocket chuckle at this, knowing their little hangout had led to adventure only he had something on hismimd, was he sure he could be a good parent makimg Rocket understand, explaining how when Shocket came into his life, he was the same until he figured things out, knowing Ringo would be lucky to have him and Piper as his parents.

"You have a point there, only why did that Collector giy capture me?" Rock-E asked.

"He's fixated with having his own me and the first time he used some of my genes, he got Shocket and was cruel to her until she escaped with Linda Duck her soulmate, but when he found out about you, he got his second chance, only this time he did not get his way and Ringo has been spared from a terrible life of servitude to Tivon, he can be what he wants when he's older, maybe take over your musical mantle, you know?" Rocket explained.

"That would be nice having a heir, but Tivon won't come after us?" Rock-E asked seeing Rocket shake his furry head.

"We should get goijg, besides we have to show Ringo his home." Piper told Rock-E seeing him nod fist-bumping Rocket.

He watched ad Rock-E's ship left, hoping everythijg would be okay, knowing his bro from another dimension had been through a lot lately and now he had to add Tivon to his anxiety list, breathijg deeply like Rock-E had taught him, for calmimg down before he got super mad, he was mad at Tivon and left a surprise in Tivon's fortress chucklijg seeing Shocket there, wonderijg if thijgs were okay because she'd seen one of Tivon's dtones.

"All good kitdo, I took care of it Rocket-style." he said ruffling her purple mohawk.
